Played solaris for last days. For fun ofc. Right now i got 85 place in 1v1 matches and played around 350 games so i guess i seen something. Played in different divisions cause i'm curious what people will take. I have some questions about mech lists in divisions. What logic behind some decisions?
Division 1:
Arctic Wolf with missiles. What is he doing here? I mean yeah. It can be fast and it can have some neat builds in solaris. But taking it versus dire wolfs, anihilators and mad cats are dont seems right.
Huntsman. Why? Sure if you take Pakhet torsos it also can be neat thing. But not as neat as it need to be to kill freaking dire wolf with 2xLBX10 and 2xLBX20.
Quickdraw IV-Four. Lol. Why?
Heavy gauss boats like Victor or Mauler. Clearly dont have DPS for brawl. Even on jungle map they are bad.
Division 2:
Clearly dominated by Kodiak-3 and Atlas. What is crap like Ebon Jaguar, Nova Cat, Maruader (bouth), Summoner and Thanatos doing here? Also Mad Cat - A. Whaaat? I dont sure i seen someone runing it in other gamemodes but somehow it got it way into this division.
Division 3:
Don't really played it since i have mostly clan mechs. Have no clue what i should do on mechs like Shadow Cat, Stormcrow or Hellbringer against King Crabs.
Division 4:
Spend most time here. Gazillion Bushwackers, Highlanders, Assassins and Hunchbacks iic here. Playing their own game. There is lots of mechs and lots of questions how do they get here. Like Adder, Cougar, Kit Fox, Enforcer, Ice Ferret, Viper, one specific Vindicator and so on. Even if here is no 4 mech i mention what this crap supose to do against mechs like Black Knight, Warhammer or Thunderbolt? Is person who made division mech list dont play Civil War?
Division 5:
Dominated by Cataphract-4X. Why such powerful mech here? It was one of best IS mechs before Mauler was released. Also ban B o B. He got 90:1 KD on that thing.
I did not play Division 6 and 7. Cause there is no clan mechs for some reason. Though i got my Uziel so guess i will play a little. But PGI is still bad guys cause dedicated clanners cant play 6 and 7 divisions.
Whole solaris mech list idea are bad because PGI sells OP clan omnipods. So overal mediocre mechs are considered as something good in their lists because of that. Thanks for carrying PGI. At least i don't feel like i loose because of pay wall.
Also energy based weapons suck in solaris. PGI pls change heat of energy weapons in solaris like you done with flamers.
